Bees and Honey
We visited Valley Road Honey Farm where Julia and Sean McDowell taught us about bees and honey. Their honey is definitely the best tasting honey I have ever had. It was so much fun overall although it was a bit nerve-racking as there were bees swarming all around us. We had to trust the McDowells to just let the bees be and then they will not sting us. They were absolutely right and nobody got stung.
Fungi and Other Life Sciences
Arjun and I have been studying life sciences. After studying about fungi, Arjun collected mushrooms, grew mold on a piece of bread and did a presentation about fungi.
Having studied bacteria and other organisms, he created Jeopardy questions. Amit and Kabir participated. Kabir won! The 4 categories for Jeopardy were: Diseases, Organisms, Bacteria and Definitions.

Teeth Cleaning
Arjun did a small experiment on teeth cleaning and followed Kabir’s experiment on teeth cleaning. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if this experiment made my boys learn the importance of cleaning teeth well!
Eggs were kept in various liquids for 2 days.
Candle Clock
Arjun created a candle clock when we studied about the history of measuring time. He followed Kabir’s experiments of measuring time.
